Arsenal and Newcastle clash in the first of this week's Carabao Cup semi-finals in what should be a cracking contest given the form of both teams.

Newcastle's 2-1 victory away to Spurs on Saturday was their sixth consecutive win in all competitions and they are now just five points behind Arsenal in the Premier League table after the Gunners drew 1-1 with Brighton later in the day.

Another positive result in London would be very welcome for the Magpies ahead of the return leg in Newcastle at the start of next month.

Where and when is it?

The match takes place at the Emirates Stadium in North London on Tuesday, January 2.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta: “I’m very excited to play the game. Home crowd, semi-final, the opportunity to earn the right to be in a final. It starts tomorrow. Two legs and it’s obviously going to be two long games against a very competitive team. We know that, but I am very excited and we need a big, big atmosphere in our stadium.”

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe: “The popular stuff, I don’t really care what happens outside of Newcastle. The perception other teams have of us, it doesn’t really worry me.

“It’s all about us making sure we are happy with who we are and how we are performing.”
